There are always risks of accidents or disasters in a manufacturing plant. Rokko realizes its responsibility to ensure safety of employees not only during work hours but also time of commuting. To fulfill such responsibility, the company organizes a safety and health committee and holds a meeting on a monthly basis. In this meeting, safety issues brought up by the divisions of the company are reviewed to make a “risk assessment chart”. Safety issues are prioritized in the chart to take measures and monitor its progress by “PDCA” techniques. Also periodically, safety and health supervisors patrol the factory to check its working environment for continuous improvements.

In September, 2011, Rokko published the business continuity plans to comply with the guidelines of the Small and Medium Enterprises Agency’s “BCP (Business Continuity Plan)” and reviews and updates the continuity plans through safety and health committee meetings.
